CIGARBUNCHING IVIACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,892, dated January2, 1894.

Serial No. 466,313. (No model.)

.To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SAMUEL L. JACKSON and ALEXANDER P. BRAUN, citizensof the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamiltonand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCigar-Bunching Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide a new and improvedbunch-rolling table; and it consists in the features of construction andthe combination or arrangement of devices hereinafter described andclaimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a front elevation of our improvement. Fig. 2 is a top planview. Fig. 3 is a section on line ai, fr, Fig. 2. Fig. A is a sectionalelevation of the roller and axle or shaft and one of its carrying arms.Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the' same, and Fig. 6 is a top plan viewof the roller axle or shaft.

Our device is adapted to be attached or set in to an ordinary table; tothis end it is constructed as follows:

A represents the bed plates upon which all parts of the machine aresuspended.

2 represents pendent studs projecting below the table.

3 represents an axial shaft journaled in pendants 2.

4r represents carrying arms rigidly attached to the axial shaft.

5 represents slotted guides secured to the top of the table; arms 4project up through vid ed with a longitudinal slot a.

7 represents an axle or shaft upon which the roller 6 journals; it iscut away at each end to form a tenon lS, which lits and slides inlongitudinal slots d of the carrying arms 4, thereby holding the axle orshaft against The roller 6 loosely journals upon its said axle.

8 represents set screws which tap into the axle and are turned to securethe roller in any desired adjusted position over the bunch rolling board10. This board is rigidly attached to the table A.

the bunch is rolled; it is secured at the rear end of the bunch board byclamps 12, and at the front end by vertical clamp plates 13, 14, securedto the edge of the table.

15 represents set screws for holding clamp plate 14 up against clampplate 13, and securing the apron 1l between them.' This provides a readyand easy means of adjusting the length of the apron.

16 represents a spring yoke the ends of which are coiled around a spool17 the yoke projecting over and resting normally on the bunch board 10;the forward ends of the yoke are sufficiently high to be caught by theroller 6 and pushed up as the bunch is rolled. When the bunch leaves theapron it falls behind the bu-nch board, and is held down partly by thespool and bunch board, and partly by the yoke, whereby the bunch is notliable to be squeezed out of shape.

Any desired configuration of bunch roller 6 may be employed upon theaxle or shaft 7.

In the practical operation of the apparatus, the table A is supported inany suitable manner in front of the operator, and the parts are adjustedto the position for use; the carrying arms 4 are drawn forward, and theapron spread over the bunch board and conforming to the surface thereof;the binder is placed on the apron in recess 18 and the filler is placedupon the binder 5 the operator takes hold of the handle 19 and quicklythrows it forward binding the apron round the bunch, and rolls thewrapper around the iiller. When the roll 6 operates the yoke spring itstrikes the said spring, lifts it up and drops the bunch under thespring; the handle is then retracted by the operator, the yoke springcoming back grabbing the filler and preventing its unwrapping, and thesecond operation is made in like manner.

llaving described our invention, whatI we claim is The combination of atable, having parallel slotted guides 5, and pendent studs 2,the shaft 3mounted in the pendent studs beneath the table, the carrying arms lsecured to the shaft, extending upward through the slotted guides, andhaving longitudinal slots d in their up- 11 represents the apron bymeans of which per end portions, the non-rotary axle or shaft IOO 7,having tenons 8 adapted to slide in the said longitudinal slots of thecarrying arms, the bunehing-roller 6 loosely mounted on the non-rotaryaxle or shaft, the bunch-board 10 on the table between the said parallelslotted guides, and the apron l1, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands. e
